You and I must learn how to live a truly successful life. It is much more important to love others than to gain material possessions.

Creating your own success can bring financial rewards, and with those financial rewards come more choices and responsibilities.

As we attract more money by providing more and better service to others, we sometimes fall into a trap of acquiring possessions to give us proof of status, give us the feeling of public approval, and to build our own self-esteem.

There is nothing inherently wrong with acquiring possessions, it is perfectly fine to enjoy the fruits of your labor as long as those fruits are truly enjoyed rather than becoming a burden.

Guard against believing that you must have, and display, material possessions to be considered a success. Problems arise when we spend our time and money to acquire possessions that give us the outward illusion of wealth. This type of materialistic thinking can easily leave you without the true riches of having people share in your life.

It seems like we have less trouble making money than demonstrating our love for other people but we must realize that not everything can be bought and there is no substitute for relationships.

"As your success grows you will soon discover that there are others who would delight in pulling you down from your perch."

Even the most loving and giving among humanity like Jesus, Gandhi, and Lincoln had those who plotted against them. How can we expect any less?

We have learned to protect ourselves from nature, disease and time but not yet against all kinds of evil and selfishness. For you to be successful and helpful to others, you must survive and thrive in a competitive world.

It is your duty to protect and defend what is good, right, and just against those who would do evil. Those who operate with evil and selfish motives will eventually be caught in their own tangled web of lies and deceit.

Don't fight back unless you have to, and when you do, make sure you are fighting by yielding to win. That is, to give up your non-essentials to further your honorable purpose.

Keep your life about truth, honesty, and integrity. Always let your integrity show others the difference between yourself and those without honorable traits.

Make a decision to stand (and fight if necessary) for truth, honesty, integrity, and all that is right.
